    I remember this happening once when my dad had to solder some things. But I was 5 at that time, and we use something else other than solder XD

    Guys, I know you're excited and everything, but its <i>soldering</i>. I mean, come one, you have access to a massive database of knowledge and entertainment at your fingers, and a plethora of games to choose from, and your getting excited about solder.

    I watched it, it's kinda cool, I don't really understand it though. Couldn't that yellow stuff fly off and burn the sh*t out of anything?

    Well, it seems to be stuck to the solder. If it did fly anywhere it would most likely cool down pretty fast, not touching the molten metal as it would be then.
